About Soraya Hind
Soraya recognises the particular impact that racism and disability hate crime can have on mental health. She notes that while immediate physical safety and legal steps are often prioritised after an incident, the emotional and psychological consequences also need attention. She acknowledges that race and disability are protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010 and aims to support clients in exploring the personal, social, and intergenerational effects of racism and discrimination.
Her work invites clients to examine stereotypes imposed by others as well as those internalised over time, so they can begin to address and reframe these patterns. She offers a non-judgmental, empowering space to work through trauma linked to hate crime and other painful experiences. Soraya’s approach is integrative with a person-centred foundation, which means she focuses on the individual needs and strengths of each person while drawing on different therapeutic methods as appropriate. She aims to help clients reflect on cultural influences and long-standing psychological patterns in a sensitive, empathic way to support meaningful change.
Soraya holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates adherence to professional standards and ongoing development as a counsellor.

Approaches for online therapy and personal growth
Soraya draws on client-centred therapy to create a respectful, non-directional space where the client’s own perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on empathy, acceptance, and understanding to help people explore identity, cultural issues, and self-worth. Trauma-focused therapy is used when past traumatic events are central to a client’s distress; it involves carefully processing traumatic memories and their emotional impact to reduce their hold on daily life and improve coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify patterns of thought and behaviour that maintain anxiety or low mood and introduces practical strategies to test and shift those patterns, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, and stress.
Soraya approaches choice of therapy as a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan over time as progress and circumstances evolve. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and respected in their own care.
Online therapy with Soraya is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or while travelling, and to maintain therapy alongside work, caregiving, or other commitments. Registered professionals and therapists can tailor session length and format to suit practical needs while focusing on effective therapeutic work.
